Synopsis for "The Amazing Story of Superman-Red and Superman-Blue!"

Superman is scolded by the Kandorians for failing to live up to his goals to enlarge Kandor, cure Kryptonite, and end crime on Earth. Shamed, he uses a machine he has devised, which is powered by the various forms of Kryptonite, in order to increase his intellect a hundredfold in order to complete these tasks. The process succeeds, but it also splits him into two near-identical beings: Superman-Red and Superman-Blue.

Together, these two Supermen recreate Brainiac’s enlarging ray to restore Kandor to its proper size and place it on a New Krypton, which they have created from the remains of the old planet. This, incidentally, removes every bit of kryptonite from the Universe since it all now constitutes the restored Krypton and is rendered harmless. Superman-Red and Superman-Blue next create an anti-evil ray that ends all villainous tendencies on Earth. Thus, a reformed Lex Luthor develops a panacea that cures all physical ailments and defects, which transforms Earth into a paradise. Retiring, Superman-Red marries Lois Lane and moves with her to New Krypton, and Superman-Blue weds Lana Lang and remains on Earth where he devotes his life to science. He also assigns his Superman Robots with the task of dealing with any future natural disasters.
